Most of these reaction people have been so secluded in one genre, like hip hop, that they don't even understand other genres, and don't know enough about music to appreciate a legend when they see one.
Never, Never, NEVER pause during a guitar solo. This is real music. To NOT to have heard this song before a person must have been born on another planet. I do NOT listen to Country Music, but I have heard of Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., and Chet Adkins and I know their songs. I am Black and I grew up with Led Zeppelin.
It took 2 or more different guitars in the studio to do some of their songs. So he got the double neck, its a 12 string on one neck, a 6 string on the other. If you watch,he does switch back and forth through the song.
Jimmy Page uses the double headed guitar when he will be using both 12 and 6 string guitars in the song so he doesn't have to switch guitars in the middle of the song. All he has to do is slide up or down depending on which guitar he needs to use
pauses during jimmy pages stairway solo feelsreallybadman you say no effort but when you look at his face you can see jimmy is fighting endless waves of invisible demons skirting the edges of reality like the absolute warlock that he is 9:05 his face really says it all
You guys seemed to focus on the lyrics of the song. I've noticed that with many young reactors .......But what about the incredible musicianship on display here !
This freaks me out about a lot of younger listeners too - it’s like they’ve been raised with nothing but literal things and no artistry, no soul or emotional depth. Kind of frightening, really. 😳
I went to the MSG concerts - THEY had more than one (I did go to the 73 here) , And saw them at Royal Albert Hall.. ( the taped one) PLEASE just listen to the music . ZEPPELIN usually played at least 3 hours and over 4 hours a few times. Every member is ranked in the top 20 of what they do. Usually on most all list John Bonham (drummer) is #1 . Jimmy Page (God with the guitar) is #2 tied with Eric Clapton . And Robert Plant is always top 10 rock singers. John Paul Jones the bass player is #6 on most list ( he is the neck of zep) Jimmy page is a God and known for feeling the music and he just makes you feel it. Why are you guys more concerned looking up lyrics, while the song is playing ????? THIS IS REAL MUSIC , THIS song is considered to be the greatest rock song,,but so is kashmir, ZEPPELIN rarely released singles , they were and album band. We bought the album, went home , put it on the record player and went to heaven for 40 minutes or so. BTW - LED ZEPPELIN was the band TO beat the Beatles record attendance at a concert with 67 thousand I believe and first to past them With a #1 album -( they had many #1 albums) If you are young( or only listen to new music top hits ) and not use to music from this time it's not going to sound good, because your brain is use to hearing 2-3 minutes of auto tuned voice and computerized instruments. I'm not downing that !!! It's just a fact. I just can't understand someone looking up on their phone when music is playing to be a reaction video. Look up song facts...
It is much more than the lyrics, how about that amazing guitar work. If you are going to react to 60s & 70s music, always give some love to the bands, the music is often more compelling than the lyrics or some perceived meaning. Zeppelin's and Pink Floyd excellent in long songs that have lyrics early on before lengthy instrumental segments. These people are still amongst the best musicians ever, 50+ years on and did not need auto tune or studio trickery and were as good live or in the studio. True audio treats await you. Please enjoy and listen with your heart and soul. Try Since I've Been Loving You Live from MSG 1973. Rock On! 🎸
When I was a young teen listening to this as it was released, if anyone disturbed the magic of Jimmy Pages guitar. They would be exiled. Led Zeppelin is a once in million years happening. All their music is amazing and remains amazing throughout time.
A lot of songs were written in abstract and to mean what you want them to mean. There was a lot of drugs back them and also coming from 19 year old minds. Very artistic and brilliant
Yes! I've heard Robert say he really doesn't know what it's about. And yes, lots of drugs so..... And yes, he's come to really not love the song. He thinks it's pretensious. But it's still an amazing, timeless song. Just like LZ will go on forever. Whether Robert likes it or not. Greatest band of all time❣️❣️❣️
Zep Lyrics tend keep to it simple but Plant wrote a story here and many find meaning in the lyrics. I think it's fantasy but nonetheless literary. I can visualize Plant writing them down on the back of a matchbook cover
Greatest band in history! Their live performances are unequalled!! The double guitar is used for a different sound during different parts of the song...he uses one on several songs!
At 1974 , I could count at least 30 Bands musically better than LZ. ( It does not mean that this live performance was awesome and the Paige's solo is not iconic) . But the 70' s were ABSURD creative.
You don't understand music...you are amazed and confused by what you see but before hip hop and rap....rock n roll / blues you had to have actual talent. You didn't use computers or synthesizers you used skill mastery of the Drums the Bass Keyboard and 🎸🎸🎸 guitars. You need to sit back and watch these guys perform from live stuff far back as 69'. You must let your mind absorb this magic.
The benefit of a double neck guitar (which looks like two guitars stuck together) is that it allows the player to switch instruments when there is no time to actually strap on another guitar-even in the middle of a song!
It's just mystical musings over magical music! Jimmy Page is the greatest guitar player in history. Check out more of their live performances. Warning, you're not going to understand much of their music unless you are a little familiar with Greek mythology, Viking mythology, a little bit of occult Magick, and have read Lord of the Rings (not just watched the movies) and other Tolkien lore. Otherwise, you will have no chance of interpreting lyrics. Well, granted, some of it is just sex and drugs and rock and roll. It's all about the music and the creativity of the greatest band ever. Enjoy the journey!
*I personally am interested in what you thought of the music* .????? I can't shepard ANOTHER reaction channel, especially to *MY* G.O.A.T. band unless THAT feedback is forthcoming.! Otherwise it just feels like a mechanism to spike subs..... you feel me.? Respect.....*David* .....
@@blakesherwood6323 for many years it was all there was of Zeppelin other than the same ole bootlegs/Destroyer/Blueberry hill/ so gotta respect Zep putting out a superior sounding project. Now w/ youtube it's like a grab bag of Zeppelin goodies...wish it was around when I was a kid/60's 70's... oh well, better late than never.
@@bishlap yeah I wasn’t around at that time I was born in 86 I’ll be 36 in June so I was in high school about 20 years ago but at the time I mostly listened to 90’s hip hop and was lucky enough to have a best friend who’s dad and uncle played in bands and was obsessed with the music they grew up with in the 60’s/70’s like the Beatles and zeppelin and so on and so on. Anyway I got turned on to that and fell in love and never looked back. The Beatles are my favorite band but I love zeppelin and I have great memories watching that film with a couple buddies
It's called a double neck. You can play 2 different guitar sounds throughout the song. One neck is a 6 string and the other is a 12 string. Led Zep. best band of the 70's.
12 stings on one the other is typical 6 string that give different sound tones and instead of switching guitars during the song he just uses the other neck
Robert Plant said: "...a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back". I think there's a link between Stairway to Heaven, tarot reading and The Celtic Cross Spread. Maybe the Lady he talks about is the Empress, she has a golden orb in her staff. There is also a reference to the May Queen, which can be an allegory to Mother Earth, the Queen of Wands rules the Spring, wands correlate to the Earth. Eventually, the Lady dies and reaches salvation. "To be a rock and not to roll" could mean to be a rock (stand up for what you believe in) and not to roll, to be constant. It's just a theory. You can also see The Hermit in Stairway to Heaven poster and the song Gallow's Pole is a meditation or an inspiration on The Hanged Man. I'm a newbie to tarot reading so I don't have much experience, but I'm sure of what I typed.
'Stairway to heaven' came together in 1971 when guitarist Jimmy Page was playing a tune and Robert Plant (vocals) just wrote the lyrics very spontaneously... Plant was a huge fan of the Tolkien books ('Lord of the rings'... 'The Hobbit') and it was likely inspired by that fascination of the bridge between the real & fantasy worlds... You can 'buy' a stairway to heaven, but does one truly exist? How do you tell someone who believes in something so stubbornly, when it may turn out to be a figment of imagination? It has that vibe... it became Led Zeppelin's biggest radio single ever.
I never really cared what they were talking about here. I just think it Is a Badass tune. Love it live as I have heard the studio version so many times. Hell , I love that too. Just jam with it.
Now that you have listened to the original . Guys go watch Heart do this live at the Kennedy Center Honoring Led Zeppelin. John Bonham is the drummer of Led Zeppelin he passed away in 1980 . His son is playing his dads set of drums at the Kennedy Center for Heart and it was a surprise to the Band Members of Led Zeppelin …. I promise you won’t be disappointed
Best performances are live from MSG. Double neck, one 6 string, one is a 12 string. You are watching the most epic song in rock history. Greatest band ever.
The point of the double guitar is in this particular song there are a parts in acoustic guitar ,others with an electric guitar .easier for Jimmy switching guitar sounds.......too understand Led Zeppelin lyrics .. Robert ,the inger , mani lyricist was very fond of celtic mythology ,,
This has got to be THE MOST untheusiastic review Ive ever seen on YT or in my life even. When you have more experience in life you will get what the words mean. This is when music artists actually had to play the instruments and sing. Thats why they call 70s rock real music. BTW, Led Zeppelin is so relevant today as they were back then that they had a reunion concert a couple years ago and there were only 18,000 tickets. 20 MILLION (yes Million with an M) people tried to purchase one to see them. They were just honored at the KENNEDY CENTER for being the Greatest Rock Blues band of all time with President Obama, Senators, A-list actors and Rappers in the audience paying hommage to the Gods of Rock. To be amongst the greatest rock blues band in history with tears in their eyes. When you learn about music and more genres besides hip hop you start to aquire an appreciation for real talent as it comes few and far between. When you mature more and aquire that experience as you get older you will be in awe when you listen to these older bands. Led Zeppelin's worldwide fan base was young and old because that was a time where even young people your age were raised amongst real music and flocked to where it was. There was no autotune and effects to make you look and sound better. You either had it or you didnt and you had to earn it. Wasnt about who you know or how you look or how popular your video was because it looked cool. You guys were raised amongst low standards in the industry. Premade crap full of effects machines autotune and distractions but its all you know so its expected that you guys didnt have a taste for it (if you did you sure couldnt tell) but you will with experiience if you care about what qualiity is and press for knowledge. You'll develop an ear for quality over a name and over time. With age comes experience. People your age aint rockin those old rock t-shirts because they're pretty you know. Take care.
A multi-neck guitar is a guitar that has multiple fingerboard necks. They exist in both electric and acoustic versions. Although multi-neck guitars are quite common today, they are not a modern invention.
I always just interpreted the lyric to mean whatever I felt like at the time. And over the course of nearly 50 years of listening to this song, that has changed a lot. Music was different before video. Back in the day the music was interpreted by the listener, the audience. After video, music got pigeon holed into meaning whatever the visuals represented. Now everybody is hung up on the literal meaning, like if they don’t understand the song the same way as everybody else they’re some kind of oddball. Either that or we were all just oddballs back then. Hell, I don’t know. But I do believe video has stunted music creativity.
It's a Double Neck guitar. On the upper neck are 12 strings (6 strings each with another 1/8 of different tuning). This setting gives more sound and is used in the second part of the song and at the end in a more distorted Riff. The bass neck is a common 6-string guitar used at the beginning of the song and of course in the solo.
Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 after Jimmy Page's (guitar) previous band The Yardbirds, broke up... he found a young talent named Robert Plant (vocals) and was recommended John Bonham (drums) by Plant... John Paul Jones (bass/ keyboards) joined after he had worked w/ Jimmy Page on a project; he had already become a prolific musician/ songwriter in England. They were the first British band to revolutionize 'heavy' rock music in 1969 after hearing the music of 50's blues artists and 60's rock bands like The Who & The Jimi Hendrix Experience. By the 70's they were literally one of the biggest bands in the world... their 4th album 'Led Zeppelin IV' (which had 'Stairway to heaven') in 1971 has sold over 24 million copies in the US... a top 5 selling record in the world. Tragically, Led Zeppelin were also proof that money & fame could not bring happiness... All their riches did not save them from drug & alcohol abuse... marriage problems... crash crashes & injuries that took months to heal... the death of Robert Plant's 5 year old son... and finally, the untimely death of drummer John Bonham in 1980 that ended Led Zeppelin... Even today, Robert Plant get offers in million$ to play as 'Led Zeppelin' w/ the original 3 members and refuses; the loss of his friend John Bonham still affects him today.
Im just here to say I don’t care if you stop during a solo I’ve heard 100 times. People get too attached to this stuff sometimes. This is about how there are good and bad spirits everywhere that we can not see, smell, taste or touch they influence everything that all of us do. Led Zeppelin tapped into that power thats why all their tunes are dope af.
Thanks for the reactiom. About the double guitar=upper part=12 strings guitar, lower=6 strings regular guitar. it allows more chord progressions. Instead of having to alternate between 2 different guitars. Have a nice day & I'll look more of what you did.
Is hard for me to explain cause my English is not that good, but the reason of two arms(?) guitar is cause he start the music with acoustic-electric guitar and at the end the real guitar comes, he would never be able to do that fast in a show so they created this one only for him 😉 sorry if I did any mistakes, love from Brazil, Led Zeppelin the best rock band that ever existed... We have different words for the instruments so I'm really sorry if I made any mistake 💚🇧🇷
One of the most iconic songs known throughout the world. This song is a epic high fantasy in musical form. The lyrics were actually a bit random without much substance. Thematically however it’s about an epic journey and how the Stairway to Heaven doesn’t come easy, you have struggle for it. Next the Zeppelin list: Achilles Last Stand or When the Levee Breaks
people have been debating the meaning of this song for 50 years now, lol. Plant introduces this song in concert by saying "this is a song of hope" other than that the band has stayed silent about the meaning.
The Rock Gods will forgive you this time as you're young and new to ROCK... But never ever pause a great guitar solo. Otherwise you risk the wrath of the Gods and thunder and lightning from the Valhalla above will strike you down with mighty vengeance.. *:)))))))))))) (*:*)*
You never stop that solo
Oh my God man!!!! You never pause in the middle of a Jimmy Page guitar solo. That was a rookie move and maybe a Felony.
Definetly a felony, harassment, rape and a first degree murder
🤣
Fucking A
The Rock Gods are extremely angry.
if they don't pause, the video is removed for copyright issues, Don't like=don't listen
BTW, you NEVER interrupt a guitar solo.
🙄
Especially if it's Jimmy Page
Golden Rule 🎸💛
Well said, never stop a guitar solo...
@@donaldbrunner6250 or Brian May
Only one thing: NEVER NEVER EVER stop a song during a guitar solo. Thank you
Or if you do then rewind it
its ok man its 11 minutes, its their channel um k
thanks for the warning. i even clicked away then came back to tell you thank you for warning us they stopped durning the solo.
Most of these reaction people have been so secluded in one genre, like hip hop, that they don't even understand other genres, and don't know enough about music to appreciate a legend when they see one.
Never, Never, NEVER pause during a guitar solo. This is real music. To NOT to have heard this song before a person must have been born on another planet.

Exceptions are Dazed and Confused and most anything Stevie Ray Vaughan plays.

you say no effort but when you look at his face you can see jimmy is fighting endless waves of invisible demons skirting the edges of reality like the absolute warlock that he is 9:05 his face really says it all
Well said!
7 years of bad luck, you paused during a guitar solo and not just any solo, one of the greatest of all time. tsk tsk tsk.
I think it's a Felony.
It should be a crime. Who does that!!.??
Sacrilege!!! All hail the mighty Led Zeppelin.
This is the greatest recording of the greatest rock & roll song by the greatest rock & roll band ever to walk the earth.
You guys seemed to focus on the lyrics of the song. I've noticed that with many young reactors .......But what about the incredible musicianship on display here !
This freaks me out about a lot of younger listeners too - it’s like they’ve been raised with nothing but literal things and no artistry, no soul or emotional depth.
Kind of frightening, really. 😳
@@ikshields Also it's because they've been raised with rap which is all about lyrics. It's sad .
Dont know if someone already pointed out - never pause a Page's solo.
I went to the MSG concerts - THEY had more than one (I did go to the 73 here) , And saw them at Royal Albert Hall.. ( the taped one) PLEASE just listen to the music .

Led Zeppelin is a once in million years happening. All their music is amazing and remains amazing throughout time.
My lad you hit the meaning perfectly. Materialism will not get you to heaven. You can not make heaven on earth!
you never pause during a guitar solo. Never watching one of your reactions again.
Rockstars Forever.

This is from Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1973 and it's part of the concert film The Song Remains the Same (1976).
recorded in 1973, released '76, as I'm sure you know. Just wanted to clear that w/ Peter Grant. :-)

It's called a double neck. You can play 2 different guitar sounds throughout the song. One neck is a 6 string and the other is a 12 string. Led Zep. best band of the 70's.
Agreed! ❤️
I have been listening to Led Zeppelin for over 50 years and have never wanted to know what the song was about, or care. It is all about the music.
I always thought that it was more about the journey you took listening to the music that just the words, themselves.
No band in rock history has as anywhere near as many great songs as Led Zeppelin does.
12 stings on one the other is typical 6 string that give different sound tones and instead of switching guitars during the song he just uses the other neck
never stop a song like this one , the best song you will ever hear
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤

Jimmy was/is a kick ass producer and guitar god.
Standard 6 sting bottom. 12 string top. The ranges you can achieve is nuts.
jimmy plays the intro and solo on the bottom 6 string guitar and the bulk of the song on the top 12 strings
Rule number one, NEVER pause during a solo of any kind!
I'm too young to have seen them in person, but I have been listening to them since I was in preschool. I 💕 them
The top neck has 12 strings which he uses through the melody and the bottom neck has 6 strings which he uses when soloing

Best performances are live from MSG.
Double neck, one 6 string,
one is a 12 string.

to explain what he is talking about is difficult because you need to explain the whole universe of Tolkien
Jimmy Page on guitar, one of the best of all time.
@9:26 NO!!!!!!! DO NOT INTERRUPT THE SOLO!!!
To say you guys suck is an understatement.
If you want to know, what the song is about, read "The Lord of the Rings"
Y'all listen to these songs anyway you want as it is your channel. Enjoy. Do 'em your way. Have fun. Any song from this performance is badass.

Wasnt about who you know or how you look or how popular your video was because it looked cool. You guys were raised amongst low standards in the industry. Premade crap full of effects machines autotune and distractions but its all you know so its expected that you guys didnt have a taste for it (if you did you sure couldnt tell) but you will with experiience if you care about what qualiity is and press for knowledge. You'll develop an ear for quality over a name and over time. With age comes experience. People your age aint rockin those old rock t-shirts because they're pretty you know. Take care.
This concert is amazing on psychedelics. That is the ideal time to experience it
Good that we can cross paths. I love rock but also love soul. Black and white together ❤
Watch more of their live performances!!
A multi-neck guitar is a guitar that has multiple fingerboard necks. They exist in both electric and acoustic versions. Although multi-neck guitars are quite common today, they are not a modern invention.
So that Double Neck guitar is an EDS 1275 model, specifically made for Jimmy Page.
Don't interrupt the solo. Jimmy Page is great. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band.
Jimmy REFUSED to ever let record labels release singles. 👍🏽
Omg that pause... Jimmy I'm so sorry lol
eargasm
One of the best rock songs ever. (... and older than me ; ) )
I always just interpreted the lyric to mean whatever I felt like at the time. And over the course of nearly 50 years of listening to this song, that has changed a lot. Music was different before video. Back in the day the music was interpreted by the listener, the audience. After video, music got pigeon holed into meaning whatever the visuals represented. Now everybody is hung up on the literal meaning, like if they don’t understand the song the same way as everybody else they’re some kind of oddball. Either that or we were all just oddballs back then. Hell, I don’t know. But I do believe video has stunted music creativity.
There's a good video of Jimmy talking about writing the song music first then Robert added the words. But it never had a meaning according to Jimmy
I wanted to watch it but read in the comments that you interupted the.best guitar solo ever. So I cant.
It's a Double Neck guitar. On the upper neck are 12 strings (6 strings each with another 1/8 of different tuning). This setting gives more sound and is used in the second part of the song and at the end in a more distorted Riff. The bass neck is a common 6-string guitar used at the beginning of the song and of course in the solo.
Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 after Jimmy Page's (guitar) previous band The Yardbirds, broke up... he found a young talent named Robert Plant (vocals) and was recommended John Bonham (drums) by Plant... John Paul Jones (bass/ keyboards) joined after he had worked w/ Jimmy Page on a project; he had already become a prolific musician/ songwriter in England. They were the first British band to revolutionize 'heavy' rock music in 1969 after hearing the music of 50's blues artists and 60's rock bands like The Who & The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
By the 70's they were literally one of the biggest bands in the world... their 4th album 'Led Zeppelin IV' (which had 'Stairway to heaven') in 1971 has sold over 24 million copies in the US... a top 5 selling record in the world.
Tragically, Led Zeppelin were also proof that money & fame could not bring happiness... All their riches did not save them from drug & alcohol abuse... marriage problems... crash crashes & injuries that took months to heal... the death of Robert Plant's 5 year old son... and finally, the untimely death of drummer John Bonham in 1980 that ended Led Zeppelin... Even today, Robert Plant get offers in million$ to play as 'Led Zeppelin' w/ the original 3 members and refuses; the loss of his friend John Bonham still affects him today.
Im just here to say I don’t care if you stop during a solo I’ve heard 100 times. People get too attached to this stuff sometimes. This is about how there are good and bad spirits everywhere that we can not see, smell, taste or touch they influence everything that all of us do. Led Zeppelin tapped into that power thats why all their tunes are dope af.
Thanks for the reactiom. About the double guitar=upper part=12 strings guitar, lower=6 strings regular guitar. it allows more chord progressions. Instead of having to alternate between 2 different guitars. Have a nice day & I'll look more of what you did.
The 12 string is for the rhythm playing, the 6 string is for the lead playing or soloing.
Is hard for me to explain cause my English is not that good, but the reason of two arms(?) guitar is cause he start the music with acoustic-electric guitar and at the end the real guitar comes, he would never be able to do that fast in a show so they created this one only for him 😉 sorry if I did any mistakes, love from Brazil, Led Zeppelin the best rock band that ever existed... We have different words for the instruments so I'm really sorry if I made any mistake 💚🇧🇷
12 string on top, 6 string on bottom. If you noticed he played them at different points in the song. The GOATS!
Check out Led Zeppelin "Kashmir" Live from Celebration day Concert
Not supposed to interrupt someone mid guitar solo
The top neck of the double guitar is a 12 string guitar, the bottom neck is a regular 6 string.
Double neck Gibson SG guitar, top neck is a 12 string the bottom neck is a standard 6 string ..
Top guitar is a 12 string electric, bottom one is a 'normal' 6 string electric ( for playing solo riffs ).
Let that guitar play
What the hell kind of idiot stops right into the middle of a solo!!!!!
Jimmy Page. Best guitarist there ever was.
Oh my GOODNESS you never stop a Guitar Solo …… oh that’s such a sin in the Rock World ….
One of the most iconic songs known throughout the world. This song is a epic high fantasy in musical form. The lyrics were actually a bit random without much substance. Thematically however it’s about an epic journey and how the Stairway to Heaven doesn’t come easy, you have struggle for it. Next the Zeppelin list: Achilles Last Stand or When the Levee Breaks
Never interrupt a guitar solo.
It is just Virgin Mary's story. God play guitar. don't stop solo next time.
people have been debating the meaning of this song for 50 years now, lol. Plant introduces this song in concert by saying "this is a song of hope" other than that the band has stayed silent about the meaning.
Robert has said many times he has no idea what it's about.
I love the puzzled looks. These lyrics have puzzled people forever….
The Rock Gods will forgive you this time as you're young and new to ROCK... But never ever pause a great guitar solo. Otherwise you risk the wrath of the Gods and thunder and lightning from the Valhalla above will strike you down with mighty vengeance.. *:)))))))))))) (*:*)*
Now say ten "Immigrant Song's" and reflect on your sin! :D
@@Thom1212 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Led es lo mas grande
The double guitar is a 6 string on one neck and a 12 string on the other.
I agree with every comment.
